Daily Dollar Rebuy

[BluffYou123]

Just wanted to get some opinions about the DD rebuy and the way I appoach it.

I have recently started taking shots at it by late regging and rebuying and taking the add on.

I join just before reg closes and was wondering what others think of this type of strategy?

You have 50bbs starting stack and there are still plenty of donks to feed you their chips.

I just don't like the opening hour of it because the horrible horrible play is 10 times worse.

I know that is an advantage to be exploited but it just doesn't seem to work out that way for me when I play from the start.

I've played this way about 10 times and haven't made the money yet.

Busted out to a flopped set over set in ~850th the other day.

Monster pot too but whatever, it happens.

Wasn´t sure at first if you were talking about the Daily Dollar in Carbon (Merge) or the Daily Dollar in Fulltilt, but after read the 850th place i guess you talk about the Fulltilt one.

Checking my results, last time i play the Daily Dollar Rebuy in Fulltilt was March-31-2009, from 3598 players ended in 283th for $7.24.

About strategy, i think you need to play the game from the start, if you look in stacks amounts at time of break-Addon the chip leader have a huge amount on this time, enter at this point put you way behind, understand that play first hour is wild but you need to take advantage of that if really want to go far.

I think unless you make final table is not worth the time, is a game that last around 8 hours, so will take 4-5 hours to get to the cash, wich mean you can spend 3-4 hours there and still not cash.

Last time i played that one was last year, at this time probably will have a lot more players there, is not a game want to play anymore.

Good luck.

Thanks for the reply Logan.

It is not a game I enjoy playing really, it's just the though of turning $3 into $3k that is appealing.

You have to run really well to take this thing down.

I'm gonna have an occassional shot at this from time to time just for fun.

If your big hands hold up, it's not that hard to go pretty deep in it.

I have to agree with Logan. I don,t understand the stragedy of late registration. ? Why not get in there and hope for pocket AA,s and double up early because there are so many DONKS. Register late and there must be many players with triple stacks.

i would not want to play that long especially for a dollar rebuy/addon. i would rather play the one at merge. if i was going to be fashionably late, how about 10 min.?

I do take advantage of late registration but only in freezouts if blind structure is really low, in normal blind structure like from 20-40-50 is not necesary but in some like bodog where blinds go from 10 to 20 to 30), then is better for me wait 10-15 minutes to register because when blinds are so low (10-20) any 3 or 4bb raise is still call, so need to go to 8-10bb raise wich mean 100-200 chips, but if things go wrong you can go down fast to 1100-1200 chips, i easy find myself raising 5bb and still 5 people call, so or i limp (wich take value of my strong hands) or better wait to blinds go to at least 30-40, so i enter late and find myself still in avg chips amount with my 1500pretty and already see a lot with 900/1200 chips.

This also work for some satellites where first hands are only Allin or fold.

But im talking about minutes and freezout, where can´t rebuy and only have 1 shot, in rebuys you want to start with a bigger stack and then take advantage from players that don´t rebuy early, you got a bigger stack to make some plays and also leave margen to do some push and even if lose have chips left to go back or can rebuy, so is better to get in from the start, generally at the time rebuys end leaders have about 10-15 times the stack amounts (a lot of times more), so if you enter at this time even if rebuy and get the addon you will be only 3 times up and will be way behind, yes still can make it, but will need that cards come (and hold), so is better to take this chances when you are early with more stack than others and still can rebuy.

At least is what i think.

I've played the FT game 5-6 times at most, so my opinion isn't based on a lot of experience. That said, I think registering late has another disadvantage, which is that you miss the chance to get chips from those players who only bring one bullet but play loose anyway. It seems like there are always some at any starting table, and not surprisingly, they tend to bust out relatively early.

I don't think I'd ever this 'late reg.' strategy for a rebuy tourney... especially that one. I mean don't you want a shot at all those chippies? I hate doing multiple rebuys in a $1donker but those chips you're buying will be sitting right there on the table for you... waiting for you to add them back into your stack along with many more (hopefully, lol).
I've only played the dailydollardonke a phew times & actually quit during the rebuy a couple of times (-EV) as I'd gotten it in great a few times & table was overly spewy and kept getting sucked out on preflop to hands like J6o, etc. (there were a couple players who'd be calling any & all preflop 3bet shoves.. and both had monster stacks from doing so... they had terrible strat. obv. but I found myself getting tired of it).

Typically though, don't we want to get in there from the very start? It's when we can flat in position with speculative hands (ie. low pp to setmine) while blinds are low & everyone's stack is deep (and while there's HUGE fish on the table... although that doesn't change much in later levels in the daily donker)... so that we can take down MONSTER pots.

sidenote to what rg is sayin' above... it's not always the big AA/KK hands where we're taking down the most chips in a rebuy (yah, quite often it is... in a 'typical' rebuy.. but in the daily donker you'll often get 4-way allin pots pre and you'll have your big PP get crushed... many of the players in the dailydonker rebuy don't understand rebuy strat.,.. they figure just get it in w pretty much atc & gamboool... whereas when you move up a buyin level or two, there's actually a means to the madness in the rebuy period).

In a rebuy you really want to bulid a decent stack for 'after the rebuy period'. THe deeper you are, the better. I think late reg, rebuy right away & addon places you at a big disadvantage.
